I have a good digital camera, that is able to video record. I also have a way to hook it up to my pc and transfer pic %26amp; vids to my files. I would like to use this camera as a web cam, my old one is pretty cheap %26amp; doesn't work so well. Does any one know how to hook up a digital camera as a web cam?
Best Answer: I really don't think you are able to do this with most modern digital cameras. The USB connection is used to transfer pics and video between PC and camera, not to stream live video. You can get a descent web cam for around $30 though!
Good Luck =)
- Most 'good' digital cameras can't be used as webcams. Check the directions, if it can record video there may be a way to stream the video from the camera to the computer and use that as a webcam (I do this with a video camera)
- You don't give a make or model, so I can't be specific. In general, if it is possible to do this with your camera, you would find the program/drivers to do this on the disc that came with your camera or at the manufacturer's website.
